Professor Gu's daily life in the countryside after his rebirth

After Gu Zhan's family division was completely completed, the corn planting of Shanghe Village Production Brigade was just finished.

These past few days, Gu Zhan thought about it and finally decided to go to the city to look for ways to make money.

Gu Zhan told Liu Xiaoxi what he was thinking, and Liu Xiaoxi naturally agreed.

During this period of time, she had seen the changes in Gu Zhan, and she knew that Gu Zhan really liked her, so she no longer had any worries.

After discussing with his wife, Gu Zhan went to the production team office to ask Zhao Baogen for a certificate.

In this era, everything needs proof, especially for someone like Gu Zhan who is going on a long journey, proof is essential.

Before Gu Zhan entered the office, he was told by another villager who came to see Zhao Baogen that Captain Zhao was not in the office at the moment.

"Where is Captain Zhao?"

"Hey, Captain Zhao went to the team's cowshed. Several cows were sick and their condition was quite serious, so the captain rushed over to check on them."

Is the cow in the team sick?

There are usually veterinarians in the village, and simple animal diseases can usually be cured, but the disease that made Zhao Baogen rush to see a veterinarian was obviously not a simple one.

In this era, the village's oxen are extremely precious and are an important production tool that replaces human labor.

Gu Zhan was about to turn around and go take a look at the cowshed when he heard the villager who had just come in and talked called him, "Gu family boy, I'm going to go take a look. Do you want to go?"

"That's great, I'll go take a look too."

As they walked along the road, Gu Zhan asked the man, "When did the oxen in the village get sick?"

The man sighed, "He's been sick for a few days. He got sick when we were planting corn, but everyone was busy back then. The village vet treated him with some traditional remedies, but he got worse today."

Gu Zhan frowned. "Home remedy? Can't we buy medicine in the county?"

"It's not that easy. Recently, cattle within a radius of dozens of kilometers have been sick. All the veterinary medicine in the county was sold out. The village veterinarian went to the county town several times, but still couldn't buy any medicine."

After hearing this, Gu Zhan had a bad feeling in his heart. The cows within a radius of dozens of kilometers were sick. This might be an infectious disease.

If they are really infected with an infectious disease, can these cows still be saved?

Gu Zhan quickened his pace and arrived at the bullpen in just over ten minutes.

When we arrived, the cowshed was crowded with villagers who had come to watch, and several team members with decades of experience in raising cattle were talking in low voices.

Gu Zhan glanced around, found where Zhao Baogen was and walked over.

Zhao Baogen is worried. Three of his cows are sick and are refusing to eat or drink. He can't buy medicine in the county. It's really worrying.

Just when I was feeling upset, I looked up and saw Gu Zhan walking towards me in a hurry.

"team leader!"

"Why are you here, kid?"

"I was on my way to your office to see you. I heard that the cows in the team were sick, so I came to check on them."

"Alas, life is not easy these days." As he said this, there was a hint of tears in his eyes.

Being able to make a strong man in his fifties cry shows how important these cows are to Shanghe Village. Gu Zhan couldn't help but feel heavy in his heart.

This seemed to have happened in my previous life.

At that time, he was just immersed in his own world and didn't know the details of the incident. He only heard the rumor in the village that several cows had died in the team.

Everyone was in a heavy mood and had to share the beef with everyone. I still remember that on the day the meat was distributed, there was a very long queue in the village.

Unexpectedly, at the critical moment, people from the county animal husbandry station came and said that these cows had an infectious disease and could not be eaten. In the end, they had to dispose of these cows harmlessly.

So in the spring of the following year, all the land in the team was cultivated by manpower.

Gu Zhan was moved, his throat slightly tightened, and finally he whispered to Zhao Baogen: "Uncle, I also heard about this incident on the road. I suspect it is an infectious disease."

"Infectious disease?" Zhao Baogen repeated hesitantly.

Farmers who have been farming for most of their lives are terrified when they hear about infectious diseases, and they think they are fatal diseases.

Zhao Baogen looked at Gu Zhan with a worried look on his face: "Is there any hope?"

Ever since Gu Zhan came up with a new method of growing corn, he felt that the young man in front of him was no simple person.

At this moment, he placed this simple hope on the young man in front of him, hoping that he could find a way to save these cows and help support the backbones of the villagers in Shanghe Village who had been bent by the pressure of survival.

Seeing the hopeful glint in Zhao Baogen's eyes, Gu Zhan did not pretend to be profound and only told Zhao Baogen his preliminary judgment.

“Uncle, I need to see the specific situation before I can make a judgment, but the most important thing now is to separate the healthy cows from the sick ones.

Also, people at the scene must be evacuated first, and those who have come into contact with cattle must wash their clothes with boiling water and wash their hands and feet thoroughly after returning home."

Although I had never heard of any accidents in my previous life, the medical conditions in this era are poor, and those present are the pillars of their families, so we cannot be careless.

According to the scientific practices of later generations, more stringent disinfection measures should be implemented. However, the current conditions are poor and only simple measures can be taken.

"Okay, I'll have someone arrange it right away."

After saying this, Gu Zhan took out a handkerchief to cover his mouth and nose, and went into the cowshed to see what was going on.

When he saw the symptoms of the three sick cows, he was sure that his guess was correct.

These cows do have infectious pleurisy. Judging from the current situation, their condition has begun to worsen. If they are not treated, they will probably end up with the same fate as in the previous life.

When Gu Zhan came out of the bullpen, Zhao Baogen quickly stepped forward and asked, "Gu Zhan, how are you?"

"Uncle Zhao, it's pretty much what I predicted. It's contagious bovine pleurisy."

Hearing this, Zhao Baogen's heart, which had been hanging in the air, finally felt relieved.

"Then what to do now?"

"Antibiotics are necessary for treatment. Is oxytetracycline still available?"

"Zhou Liang, Zhou Liang, come here quickly."

Zhou Liang is the village veterinarian. These cows are sick and he is very panicked. If something goes wrong, he will have to worry about whether he can get work points this year.

Just when he was at a loss, he heard Zhao Baogen calling him and hurried over at a trot.

"Captain, you called me."

"Can I buy oxytetracycline now?"

Zhou Liang said with a bitter face: "Captain, we can't buy it. Terramycin is being used everywhere now. The veterinary medicine in the county is basically out of stock. There is no medicine left."

The hope that had risen in Zhao Baogen's heart was shattered once again, and he lowered his head and said nothing.

Gu Zhan thought for a moment and said to Zhao Baogen, "Uncle Zhao, I have a solution."

Gu Zhan's words were like the sound of nature. Zhao Baogen excitedly grabbed Gu Zhan's shoulders and said, "Good boy, tell me quickly, what's the solution?"
